People lost their shit about Google Glass, claiming users would be able to take pics of them without their knowledge, yet they didn't bat an eye at the established creepers doing that already with smartphones and they sure don't seem to care much about Meta putting forth Glass 2.0, now with more invasiveness! An article about it is a good first step, but articles like this about Glass were everywhere, along with a general negative sentiment in the public (and there even were some assaults on people using those things!), yet I rarely hear about these even worse glasses. Do people just not care about privacy anymore?
I didn't know these were a thing until just now
